Area 27's Magik & Mayhem is now available on Itunes!
We also just sent in a restock of CDs cuz people have been liking the album... some more good reviews: Hi guys,
ok, you got a very good production, very good ideas for songs.. but BLOODY HELL, the lead singer has one of the most interesting voices I ever heard. I mean it, really. It's not just the beauty of the tone. she has the devil in her throat..pure emotion coming out. absolutely fantastic, got shivers as soon as she started singing. you could be among the most interesting new artists recently come out in this genre, and I really wish you make it BIG, 'cos you're at "another level".
I am not being nice to you..you really deserve to be at the top. much love from a new fan!
Val
Great
Such a smooth intro, via the Zero 7 kind of route. This song is fantastic, the lead vocals are spectacular. The verse is just so damn smooth it hurts my nuts. The mood is like that smokey bar feeling, where the drug deals and poker games are going on in the backroom. Ha! I dunno. I thought it was a really tight song, that's the point, the bass, the strings, the changeup even kind of got me, in a way, kind of Portishead meets Led Zeppelin. Nice work.
